torque arm questions
I am getting into the suspension of my car, mainly doing autoX and "spirited" street driving. I already have revalved Bilsteins, Strano sway bars and lowering springs, BMR non adjustable LCAs....I am looking into a torque arm, but do I really need an adjustable one?
The reason I ask, is it says the non adjustable one is set to optimum pinion angle on stock ride height...will this cause a problem on a lowered car, thus me needing an adjustable one?

Hello, yes you will need an adjustable torque arm. I would also suggest a torque arm relocation bracket. It doesn't take a whole lot to break the transmission tail shaft, our bracket will eliminate this issue. Having lowered your car you will need to reset your pinion angle and the adj torque arm is the way to do it. Give me a call if you have any questions our tech/sales dept is available MON-FRI 8:30AM-6:00PM EST. Here is a link to our site.
